The Vegan Superhero AcademyReviews of thevegangym.com

Just concluded close to a year and a half with the Vegan Superhero Academy, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the experience and with the impact that it has had for me. At over 76 years of age, I am convinced that I am the healthiest and most fit of my adult life, and I owe much of it to VSA. For me, the weekly 1-on-1 coaching — first from coach Tom and then from Coach Arman — has been the most impactful part. The two apps that they use, one for nutrition, and one for fitness, are world class, in my opinion, and fit my style perfectly. But the personal attention that I got from my coaches, and the incredible knowledge and experience in both fitness and nutrition have been immeasurable. It feels like there wasn’t a single question or challenge in the domains of fitness and nutrition that I presented to my coach for which they didn’t have an instantaneous great idea or suggestion or solution. Just amazing. I have learned so much and achieved so much thanks to their guidance. I embark now on a test of my sustainable independence feeling confident and energized. I can’t recommend this program highly enough. If you are vegan and serious about your health, this program is worth way more than the price of admission. They are really serious about their mission supporting clients.

This company has gone above and beyond my expectations. They actually care about your results and you don’t feel like you are just a number. Kiana (my coach) loves her job and it shows. She is caring, puts together great workouts and is always there to help me thru tough spots. I would highly recommend them

My review is in two parts (1) My coach and (2) The overall VSA experience. My coach: Coach Sarah Bright was the bright spotlight (all puns intended) of my multi-year VSA experience. I felt truly seen, heard, connected with and cared for. She genuinely engaged with me with respect to not only my fitness goals but also how working out (duration, type, intensity) might need to vary as real life commitments and struggles show up for me from time to time. Coach Sarah has a deep understanding of fitness and exercise design. I say that as someone who has been strength training since age 15, and almost every time under trainer supervision. What set Sarah apart from other trainers I’ve partnered with before are, in my view, two things: (1) Her ability to be creative and co-imagine themes for our 12-week workouts that specifically focused on the affirmations I needed for those periods of time (2) Her resilience, kindness and patience when other health conditions impaired my ability to show up in the gym the way I’d like to! She worked with me to challenge my inner critic and stood besides me as a firm ally. I’d work with Coach Sarah again in a heartbeat. I am grateful for the friendship I have developed with her and have VSA to thank for sending her my way! A few words on VSA: This is an organization to watch for in the space of not only vegan fitness but the world of health, wellness, longevity and women’s midlife health - in general. The program offers resources and community that is rigorously evidence-based and supported through dialogue in online communities. VSA’s strength (as I experienced it) is in their fitness coaching and online resources. I was already Whole Food Plant-Based at the time of joining the program so my needs for nutrition education were not very high. Having said this, I did request to meet with the dietitian and was not connected to them despite follow-ups with another coach who was my point of contact then (not Coach Sarah). There may be value in structuring VSA’s program offerings in a more modular fashion to help members participate in a way that meets their goals and helps manage their overall time commitment to the program. Any individual, at any given point, may already be participating in multiple health-focused communities. Adopting a modular system may help preserve the overall membership “value / RoI” of this program that’s currently priced comparable to / higher than concierge service levels for the United States (including some prescriber-led programs). My very best to Leif, Anders and Daphne.

The Vegan Superhero Academy has been one of the most meaningful investments I have ever made, not just in my health, but in my family. I have been a coach for 12 years, so I am not new to fitness, discipline, or helping people make changes in their lives. I have always been in pretty good shape, and from the outside, most people probably would not have thought I needed a program like this. But being in shape and feeling truly healthy, energized, and present are not the same thing. As a husband and father of two young kids, I started to realize that I was giving so much of myself to work, responsibilities, and everyone else that my own health was slowly becoming less intentional. I was getting through my days, but I did not always feel like I was fully showing up the way I wanted to at home. That was the part that hit me the hardest. My kids are at an age where they want me on the floor, running around, playing, wrestling, laughing, and being fully there with them. And I do not want to be the dad who is physically present but mentally drained. I do not want to look back and realize I gave my best energy to everything except the people who matter most. Even with my coaching background, I knew I needed support. I was hesitant to commit at first because I wondered if I really needed it. I have helped other people for years, so there was definitely a part of me that thought I should be able to figure it out on my own. But the truth is, coaching others and being coached yourself are two very different things. What stood out to me about the Vegan Superhero Academy was how complete the support system is. The program has medical doctors, registered dietitians, and an incredible team of coaches, and you can feel that level of care right away. This is not a generic meal plan or cookie cutter fitness program. It is personal, thoughtful, and built around real life. From the beginning, my coach helped me look at my health in a deeper way. Not just workouts or food, but energy, recovery, consistency, stress, family life, and long term sustainability. I finally felt like I had a plan that matched the man I am trying to become, not just the body I am trying to maintain. The biggest change has been how I feel day to day. I have more energy, more patience, more clarity, and more capacity to be present. I feel strong and grounded in a way that goes beyond the gym. The best part is what that has meant for my family. I am showing up better for my wife. I am more engaged with my kids. I can play, run around, and be silly with them without feeling like I am constantly running on fumes. That means everything to me. This program reminded me that taking care of myself is not selfish. It is one of the most important ways I can take care of the people I love. Joining the Vegan Superhero Academy has been one of the best decisions I have made as a husband, a father, and a coach. I only wish I had done it sooner. I cannot recommend this program enough.

I joined VSA and started working with coach Nicole Mitsigeorgis in January and I'm so glad I did! I thrive with a structured plan and accountability and that is exactly what you get with VSA, from a tailor made nutrition plan to your workouts. Nicole has been so wonderfully supportive and flexible when I need to change my workout schedule or our weekly call schedule and so helpful in adding new meals to my nutrition plan. I feel so much better in the four months I've been working with Nicole, I've lost weight and inches, my clothes fit better, I have more energy, and I'm happier! I've prioritized my workouts and am making smarter decisions around my meals. I'm so glad I took the leap and am excited to continue onto the next phase, Momentum!

VSA is a great program. My coach, Kiana, was very knowledgeable and motivating. She helped me embed a strength training program I can do regularly. She also gave me a lot of tips and guidance to expand my vegan meal options. I learned so much from VSA and highly recommend it.

I had a fantastic experience with The Vegan Super Hero Academy, and a huge part of that was working with an exceptional coach, Nicole Mitsigorgis. Nicole is a former professional cyclist and an outstanding athlete, and that experience really shows in the way the coaching is structured, thoughtful, and results-driven. Over the last four months, I not only met but exceeded my cycling goals—improving my power output by 30 watts and nearly doubling my power-to-weight ratio. The progress felt sustainable and well-supported, not forced or short-term. The academy itself is full of genuinely great people, and the nutrition framework is easy to follow and helps build a healthy, positive relationship with food. I do love food, so I ended up customizing many of the recipes to better suit my tastes—some of them could use a bit of refinement—but the overall guidance is solid and practical. There is also an impressive depth of knowledge available through their articles and resources. Honestly, there’s so much great content that I didn’t have enough time to fully digest it all. For anyone considering the program, I’d strongly recommend the 12‑month plan to really get the most value. This is a program I would absolutely return to in the future, and I highly recommend it to anyone serious about performance, plant-based nutrition, and long-term athletic growth.

Skeptics gather around. (Because that was me!) I had my doubts because I had tried everything. I had seen The Vegan Superhero Academy online and I thought it seemed great, but could it really be? YES. Jeffrey called me and talked me through everything. texted with me, and met with me multiple times to answer ALL my questions (and there were many.) Once I got started I met my coach, Amber. This review isn’t even long enough to list the amazing things about Amber. Supportive, friendly, understanding, helpful, accommodating, inspiring, non judgmental, relatable, the list goes on. She feels like a friend. (Who I curse at a lot, because she pushes me and knows what I’m capable of, even when I doubt.) Now of course it’s not all about the number on the scale, but for those interested in that, I’m down 22 pounds since I started in January. Suddenly I can squat with no knee pain (thank you vegan diet!) and I amaze myself with the exercises I am capable of completing. (I couldn’t even do a knee push up at the start and now I do 12 without a break!) I am finally at the point where I don’t overthink the clothes on my body before going out the door (another goal because that was exhausting) and I’ve just signed on for another year because I just can’t quit this group! The online courses are amazing and the supportive community is unmatched. Amber made me feel like an athlete. She supports my goals, even when I felt like they were too big to be realistic, she never blinked or wavered. And it’s all up from here. If you’re thinking about taking the leap, you will not regret it.
